The Kreischa church was first mentioned in a document in 1346, but the time it was founded is unknown. Features in the foundation and on the walls as well as special ashlar point to the 11th / 12th / 13th centuries. Century. A huge rectangular tower in the north front of the church up to the height of the church roof ridge with a wall thickness of 1.35 m. The lower part, well above the church gutter, suggests a former residential and defense tower.

Kreischa Village Church.

Info:

This church, situated on a hillside with a tall rectangular tower on the north side, probably dates back to a Romanesque building from the 12th century and was rebuilt in 1516. It is of architectural and local historical significance, as well as being a significant feature of the townscape. A sandstone epitaph, "Christ in Gethsemane," is located next to the portal.
